So earlier today I was watching a RoosterTeeth video and a tab opened with meatspin on... it did this again later, then just now a cmd prompt popped up saying "Hey want to be friends?" Click to continue. 

 

I have no idea what is going on help please.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you probably have some form of malware. 

 

merely speculation, but it would be best to have that checked.

Yeah probably... I am doing a full scan with Malwarebytes. Hopefully I can get this thing removed.

This happened probably because I was too lazy to update my expired AVG lol.

 A friend of mine let that happen too. Seems like a stupid way of doing it on avg's part.

Don't do full scan. quick scan is better and it cured all my problems anyways.

A full scan won't take long, I've only used 300GB out of my 2TB

Quick scan merely looks at the areas most susceptible to malware, while a full scan would look at lots of different areas.

If I recall correctly you can downgrade your trial version of AVG to the free version. Then get it to update its definitions and run a scan.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

AVG "safe" toolbar won't uninstall from my pc... so AVG, Norton, McAfee... please get out.

So... we all watch it some time (not meatspin)? 

EDIT: "reading a magazine" is a similar-ish slant for it I believe.

Turn your PC off and never turn it on again, that'll get rid of that problem... might create another one though.

So many things I could write here... things like this.
